Jonathan Koch recently served as a page in Olympia. It’s a family tradition. Jonathan’s great grandfather, Frank Wright, served as a page in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1926, the equivalent of our House of Representatives. At the time, Frank’s father, Earl Wright, was a member of the House of Delegates.

Jonathan, a ninth grader at International School, was selected to be a page by Rep. Deb Eddy (D-Kirkland). He is the son of David and Liz Koch of Bellevue.
